The epicenter of Würzburg is bustling with folks coming and going, grabbing a coffee from the smallest cafe in Würzburg around the base of the Marienkapelle, a lofty Late Gothic hall church built in 1377. If people aren’t stopping for a coffee, then they’re lining up at outside of the Bratwurststand Knüpfing, just opposite the Marienkapelle, for a traditional “Geknickte im Kipf”, a sausage so large, it has to be “snapped” in half and folded into the buns.
Also on the Marktplatz, you’ll find the Falkenhaus, once a Gasthaus but today is the Würzburg Tourist Office. It showcases a pale yellow and stuccoed facade, and sadly, it too was destroyed in the war, but luckily was one of the first buildings in Würzburg to be painstakingly reconstructed.
You’ll find an outdoor market at the Marktplatz, known as the “Green Market” which focuses on locally produced and seasonal fruits and vegetables and flowers.
